Member since April 2024 South Padre Island, United States
Background
I grew up fishing all my life. Blue water hunting, spearing reefs, trolling sports fish, but now I love inshore fishing because it’s easy and I can take my wife and kids any chance I can. “I’d rather be fishing”
Techniques
It depends on the conditions. Throwing live bait, dead bait, soft baits, top waters, plugs, poppingcorks, what ever the fish are biting is what I like to throw.
